After returning home, Zhao Qing gave the rice and vegetables to his wife to cook, while he set up a newly bought casserole in the corner of the bedroom...
There was no way, this room was too small, there wasn't enough separate space for him to make alchemy.
Wang Shuyue was washing vegetables in the outer hall and turned a blind eye to her husband's behavior. After a while, she checked the vegetables brought back by Zhao Qing again. Her eyebrows wrinkled slightly and she said softly: "Husband, I'm going out to buy some oil and salt."
Zhao Qing, who was sorting out the medicinal materials, turned back in surprise, looked at his wife, and pressed the side of his forehead speechlessly.
"I'm used to eating in the kitchen. I forgot to buy oil and salt. I'd better go there again. You stay at home."
He waved his wife to come closer: "I will write you a recipe. After you grind it for me, weigh it."
After burning the incense, he pushed the yellow paper in front of his wife and told her: "Don't wash these medicinal materials, as they will easily lose their potency. When making elixirs, I will use my spiritual power to remove impurities."
After saying that, he went straight out the door.
You have to eat, and although it's not impossible to make do with one meal, it always feels a lot awkward. What exactly is awkward, I can't explain.
When he came to the market to buy oil and salt, he gradually realized that what he lacked at home was not oil and salt, but peace of mind.
Having moved suddenly and living in a temporary residence, life is already very unstable. It would be too depressing if you can't even make do with the most basic meals.
He held the oil and salt and sighed slightly: "I hope the sect can solve the Shouyun Mountain matter as soon as possible."
He has been staying in Beifang for the past two days. The space is too small and it is very inconvenient. It always feels like staying in a temporary hotel... No matter how soft the bed in the hotel is, it is not as reassuring as the shabby mat at home.
Zhao Qing was walking when he suddenly frowned and looked around.
It was already dark now, and there was no one on the way home. It was so quiet that it seemed unusual.
The night wind blows the wild grass on the roadside, caressing people's bodies, bringing a little chill.
Zhao Qing silently circulated his spiritual energy, pinched the spiritual talisman in his sleeve with his other hand, and continued to walk quickly under the night.
He smelled a familiar smell. There was a time when he was immersed in this smell almost every day. When he was in the kitchen, he would always kill some livestock, so he couldn't help but get used to this smell.
is blood. The smell of blood.
"Did the monster-hunting cultivators just pass by here? Did they bring the blood of the monsters with them? Or did the wounds not be treated in time?"
Zhao Qing tensed up his nerves, and Chi Lianjue was ready to go. After walking for a while, his expression became even more ugly.
The scene in front of me was really horrifying. The night wind picked up the scattered yellow paper and flew all over the sky. Zhao Qing frowned and walked through the yellow paper. After thinking about it for a long time, he reached out and stopped a piece with words on it.
It is filled with densely packed acupuncture points, passes, spiritual energy routes and manual techniques.
These should be the scattered pages of a certain exercise book!
Zhao Qing suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the wind was blowing. He saw a black shadow lying quietly in the grass. If you were not careful, you would not notice it at night.
His nose twitched slightly, and the smell of blood also came from this direction!
Who must have encountered the robbery when passing by here... Obviously, the black shadow in the grass is undoubtedly a corpse, a corpse that has been stripped of its belongings.
The skills he carried with him were thrown away by Jie Xiu, and they flew all over the sky with the wind.
Zhao Qing silently put away the soul-protecting talisman, took out the golden light talisman, and held it in his left hand swaggeringly.
Then, he threw away the cloth bag wrapped with oil and salt, and carried the oil can directly in his right hand.
Finally, he lifted up the hem of his clothes and gently lifted it, revealing a wooden sign with the word "Danxia" brightly written on the front and "Zhao Qing, the handyman of Huozaofang" on the back.
Zhao Qing naturally pinned the wooden sign to his waist, facing outward, and walked home in a swaggering manner.
It should...maybe...maybe, it seems that no one would attack a sect disciple holding a golden light talisman in order to snatch oil and salt, right?
The night is very quiet, and the wind is even more noisy.
Zhao Qingjian walked like flying, without stopping for a moment, and soon arrived near Huima Lane.
"call!"
After taking two slow and deep breaths, he put away the wooden signs and talismans and entered the house.
…
While his wife was cooking, Zhao Qing stood by the window and fell into deep thought.
There is a robbery cultivator in Danxia City, and he knows about it.
But as a disciple of the sect, he never took it too seriously. After all, Danxia City was patrolled by the inner sect brothers, and it was still the sect's private land. He didn't go down the mountain often, and the Jiebujie cultivators didn't seem to be much different from him. relation.
However, when he actually lived in the city and saw the corpse with his own eyes, he suddenly realized a very critical issue.
If people really want to kill people and seize treasures, they don't seem to care much about whether you are a disciple of Danxia Sect.
You're going to rob someone, and you might end up dead by mistake one day, so how can you care about these things?
Thinking of this, he silently took out the carved wooden plaque given by Matchmaker Xu, and wondered in his heart: Is Ma Xiang's formation reliable this time?
No, you have to quickly build up your proficiency in gathering Qi pills. If you can have a high rate of pill formation, it will be easier to earn spiritual stones. At that time, I can buy a high-end spiritual array, as well as various talismans and protective robes...
After a long time, he gathered his emotions, sat down at the dining table, and looked at the virtual panel.
[Alchemist: Elementary to mid-level (310/500)]
[Single experience: 5+5]
[Bond: Intimacy]
[Bonus experience bonus: 5]
[Qi Gathering Pill Proficiency: Entering the House and Mastering it (3/100)]
[Li Zi·Chi Lian Jue: Entering the Hall·Comprehension (5/100)]
…
Now the dual cultivation experience bonus is not low, and he should be able to break through and reach the realm of the first-level mid-level alchemist soon. It will take a long time to accumulate the proficiency of Qi Gathering Pill to the next level.
The main reason is that the recovery speed of spiritual power cannot keep up, and the control is not enough to support the refining of multiple pills.
If you can break through the fourth level of Qi Refining, there should be some changes... At least the recovery speed of spiritual power will increase. Perhaps after breaking through to the middle-level alchemy master, you should be able to refine the lower-level Qi Gathering Pills more easily.
Zhao Qing tapped the table with his fingers gently, making plans for the next period of time.
First try to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, and at the same time increase the frequency of dual cultivation. After the cultivation level and realm are all broken through, you can then improve your proficiency in the Liver Qi Gathering Pill and find ways to make more money.
Before reaching the middle stage of Qi refining, you will never go out unless necessary.
Unless rent is due.
"Shu Yue, when I just came back, I saw a corpse on the roadside. There should be some casual cultivators killing people and stealing money near Beifang."
"We stay at home during this period. Every five days, I take advantage of the time when senior brothers Chenshi are on patrol to go back to the sect to check on the situation. If the situation at Shouyun Mountain can be solved, we will move back. "
Wang Shuyue held her face in her hands, listened to her husband's arrangements, and nodded obediently.
Zhao Qing was talking and suddenly stopped: "Why didn't you react at all? Aren't you scared?"
The girl nodded subconsciously, then shook her head slightly. "I'm afraid, but Jie Xiu shouldn't rob mortals. There's nothing to rob. If anything happens, I'll go out."
good idea!
Zhao Qing directly rejected his wife's proposal.
I, a Qi Refining monk, dare not go out, so I want my mortal wife to go out and inquire about the situation? Don't be too ridiculous!
